hose are different now that said my supply house dose not stock propane hoses because no one use the propane hose i was told by them to use my hose. regulators will work. -
depending on the piece powder coating should work.

ask you kids what they would do with out a parent or one with no eyes or a missing limb if you don't have kids then decide if it is worth it to save a few dollars or gamble not worth it to me PS i spent 40 years in the welding business welding on every type of vessel that had all kinds of hydrocarbons in them their is no guarantee on removing all of it none of them are Worth the chance
